I’m in the same boat as you, slight spike followed by zero everything then diatoms came just slightly on the sand and mp40s then they cleared up mostly. I’m still waiting another few months before adding coral

Yea I’m assuming something will come out of no where. Most likely green hair algae just strange it’s not already happening, I did add dr.Tim’s in the beginning. Like a week or so after I added water. My clowns have been in there thriving. I have a coral beauty in QT but having issues with lympjcist thst I thought was ich in the beginning. But yea I say your good, just go slow from here just to be safe.

Welcome! "UGLY STAGES" vary and typically start as you begin to get your parameters in balance.

If it’s working good and everyone is happy I would just keep an eye on it get ready to take action if something starts to get to bad, maybe get prepared for constant partial water changes. Maybe set up a decent QT as back up. You should be ok is my thoughts on the matter

Welcome! Do you have lights on a schedule yet? That’s usually when you’ll see the uglies in some form.
